Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Tbilisi International Airport (Tbilisi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Greater Caucasus mountain range during the final descent into Tbilisi, alongside glare-free lighting for photography during eastbound daytime travel.
Parisian Basin
Aerial views of the dense urban sprawl of Paris and the winding Seine River immediately after takeoff from CDG.
Bavarian & Austrian Alps
Distal views of the northern edge of the Alps, often showing snow-dusted peaks and deep valleys.
Transylvanian Alps
The rugged, forested peaks of the Northern Carpathians as the flight crosses over central Romania.
Black Sea Crossing
A vast blue expanse that marks the transition between the European continent and the Caucasus region.
Greater Caucasus Range
The flight's highlight, featuring the highest peaks in Europe, including the towering volcanic cone of Mount Kazbek.
Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A') to avoid direct sunlight on this eastbound route. The most spectacular mountain views occur in the final 45 minutes of the flight. In winter, the Greater Caucasus peaks are heavily glaciated and provide exceptional contrast for photography.
Central Alpine Chain
If the flight path tracks south, you will see the highest parts of the Swiss and Austrian Alps in the distance.
Vienna & The Danube
The sprawling Austrian capital and the prominent blue curve of the Danube River as it flows toward Hungary.
Wallachian Plain
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of southern Romania leading toward the Black Sea coast.
Port of Constanta
One of the largest ports on the Black Sea, often visible as a hub of maritime activity before the long overwater stretch.
Lesser Caucasus
Softer, greener mountain ridges in southern Georgia that characterize the final approach into the Tbilisi valley.
The right side ('F' or 'K' seats) is prone to direct sunlight on morning and afternoon flights, so keep your window shade ready. However, this side often provides a superior view of the Tbilisi city center and the Holy Trinity Cathedral during the final banking maneuvers before landing.
